So I'm taking a communications class and I needed to do a term paper on the topic of some form of media (10 pages) and I decided to do it on what appears to be the creative bankruptcy of Japan, and what's causing it. I'm focusing specifically on games, and my professor assured me there would be tons of material on this subject, and I've been finding fuck all at my school's library.
Does anyone know any "scholarly" sources that discuss this matter, or some good ideas where I can start? I know this is a huge deal, but I doubt my professor will take kindly to me using Extra Credits or Jimquisition as a real source.
Specifically, I'm trying to figure out why all their media has seemed to plummet in quality (to American eyes) over the last 10 years.
Your thoughts and opinions on the issue at hand are welcome, too.
